Author's Note: Cinndon is owned by Cinndon Sodagard.
This story starts in the game we call Sugar Rush, which has recently gone through an upgrade. This upgrade came with a few new tracks, faster karts, and the racers looked a lot older, about 15 years old, to be exact.
This upgrade also came with a new racer, and that racer's name is Cinndon Sodagard. He's kindhearted, strong-willed, and really smart. He looks out for his fellow racers, and he most definitely knows how to rock out on the guitar. He also owns a kart detailing shop in the town square, since he's really good at fixing karts and detailing them as well. He also has a bit of a long fuse on him, meaning it takes a lot to make him mad, and when he does get mad, he can act quite sour. He also speaks with a Western accent, making him a hit with some of the female racers, especially his girlfriend, Sticky.
But this story is about what Cinndon shares with another racer. What is that thing he shares with another one of his fellow racers? Read on to find out!
It was the end of another roster race in Sugar Rush, and tomorrow's roster had already been determined, tomorrow's avatars being Adorabeezle, Cinndon, Sticky, Vanellope, Rancis, Swizzle, Snowanna, Jubileena, and Minty.
The racers were all gathered at Vanellope's castle for a sleepover. This was the first co-ed sleepover Vanellope ever hosted, and she loved the idea of including the guys at her sleepovers, thanks to a suggestion from Snowanna. And of course, all the couples were there.
Vanellope was sitting on the couch with Rancis, snuggled up against him, Cinndon and Sticky were drinking Cokes while talking to Swizzle and Adorabeezle, and Gloyd was obviously trying to get through to Taffyta about a prank gone wrong, but she didn't seem interested.
"Hey, everyone! Wanna play a game?" Snowanna asks as she pulls out an empty Diet Coke bottle.
"What kind of game?" Swizzle replies, turning in Snowanna's direction, Adorabeezle's arms draped over his shoulders.
"Truth or Dare, of course!" Snowanna says, grinning with glee.
"Ooooooh, sounds fun! Come on, Cinndon, I wanna play!" Sticky says, grabbing the hands of the cinnamon racer, who smiles and follows her.
"So, how do we play this kind of Truth or Dare?" Vanellope asks Snowanna.
"Well, someone spins the bottle, and whoever the bottle lands on, the spinner asks the person 'Truth or Dare?', and if they say truth, they have to answer a question about themselves. If they pick dare, they have to do whatever the spinner asks them, no matter how crazy. Sound easy enough?"
"Sounds fun!" Gloyd says, joining the group with a grin on his face, Taffyta following suit.
"Okay, so who wants to go first?" Snowanna asks as she sets the empty bottle on the ground.
"Hold on!" Vanellope says. "Shouldn't we all be in our pajamas first?"
"You're right, Vanellope!" Minty says, smiling.
With that, the guys and girls go into separate rooms to change into their pajamas.
As soon as the guys are changed, they make their way back to the party area. Swizzle is in a yellow t-shirt patterned with green swirls and blue and indigo striped shorts and Gloyd's in his normal pajamas, which are black pajamas patterned with candy corn. Rancis is wearing a short-sleeved chocolate brown pajama top, orange-and-yellow striped pajama bottoms, and an orange nightcap with his name on it, and Cinndon is wearing a cinnamon bun t-shirt with Coca-Cola pajama bottoms. The four guys sit on the floor around the empty bottle Snowanna set there.
"Okay, so should we start the game, or should we wait for the girls?" Gloyd asks as he pops a mellowcreme pumpkin into his mouth.
"I think we should wait, Gloyd. Wouldn't feel right to start the game without the girls, now would it?" Swizzle says, sticking a swirl pop into his mouth and smirking. "You know that I know you and Taffyta are dating, officially."
"What in the Magic Shell are you talking about, Swizz? We haven't even dated a month, and already you think that me and Taffyta are an item, which we're not." Gloyd says, looking at the swirl pop racer.
"I just know you two have been together since Cinndon and Sticky started dating, which was less than a month ago." Swizzle states, sucking on the swirl pop while smirking even more. "You two are so an item now."
"So what are you saying, Swizz?" Gloyd asks Swizzle.
"I'm saying that you and Taffyta have gone steady." Swizzle says, smiling. Gloyd blushes and looks away slightly, his pumpkin hat over his face now.
Gloyd stays like that, the other three guys looking at him like he's crazy.
30 minutes later, the girls return, wearing their pajamas, and they join the guys.
"What's with Gloyd?" Vanellope asks Rancis.
"Oh, Swizz embarrassed him about going steady with Taffyta." Rancis says as he sits next to Vanellope.
"Come on, Gloyd, uncover your face…" Jubileena tells Gloyd. Gloyd sighs and takes his pumpkin hat off of his face.
"Now, it's time to start the game." Snowanna says as she starts spinning the bottle. The bottle spins rapidly, then starts slowing down, and eventually, it stops on Cinndon.
"Okay, Cinndon, truth or dare?" Snowanna asks the cinnamon-themed boy, who's holding Sticky in his arms.
"Truth." Cinndon answers confidently.
"Okay, Cinndon, when is your birthday?" Snowanna asks him.
"That's easy, Snowanna! My birthday is September 15th." Cinndon replies with a smile.
Rancis stands up and looks at Cinndon.
"My birthday is the 15th as well, Cinndon." Rancis says matter-of-factly.
"It is?" Cinndon asks him. Rancis nods as if to tell him "Well, duh!"
"Well, I'll be!" Cinndon says with a smile. "We're birthday twins!"
At that statement, Rancis snaps.
"NO, WE ARE NOT BIRTHDAY TWINS!" Rancis screams as he stands up. "September 15th is MY birthday! A DAY ABOUT ME! NOT ABOUT YOU!"
Vanellope grabs Rancis, who's glaring angrily at Cinndon.
"Flugs, maybe we could celebrate his birthday with yours this year. You know, give you two a double birthday party here at the castle." Vanellope suggests.
"NO! I'll share my chocolate, I'll share my kart tools, heck, I'll even share my peanut butter shampoo, but if it's one thing I will NOT share, it's my birthday!" Rancis says. "Why do I have to share a birthday with him?!"
"Now, Flugs, if his birthday is on the same day as yours, it won't hurt to celebrate his birthday, too. You have to learn to share your day." Vanellope explains to the Reese's boy, who looks more upset by the minute.
"I WILL DO NO SUCH THING!" Rancis says as he storms off to the room where the guys are going to be sleeping.
The game continues, Vanellope worried about Rancis.
After the game, most of the racers are sitting around the room, doing their separate sleepover things. The guys (minus Rancis) are sitting on the couch watching a movie and the girls are doing each other's hair and giving each other manicures, pedicures, and facials.
"I can't believe it, Cinndon. You and Rancis have the same birthday!" Swizzle says, looking at the cinnamon-themed racer.
"I know, but it's really no coincidence. September 15th really is my birthday, and I'm gonna be 16 this year." Cinndon says, taking a handful of caramel corn.
"Wow! Lucky you! I'm not gonna be 16 until October." Gloyd says as he eats another mellowcreme pumpkin. "Do you know if you're having a party?"
"I'm not sure, actually." Cinndon says, eating his caramel corn. "I saw I shared a birthday with one of the racers here, and I though the president's idea sounded pretty good. The sound of a double party sounds awesome!"
"It sure does!" Swizzle says. "If only you could convince Rancis of that."
"Yeah, but Rancis is a spoiled brat. He was coded with a silver foil-wrapped chocolate spoon in his mouth, and thinks EVERYTHING has to be about him, when in all honesty, it isn't." Gloyd says, sitting cross-legged on the couch.
"Wow, that's interesting to know, Gloyd." Cinndon says, taking a sip of his cream soda. "But who could convince Rancis that sharing his birthday can be a good thing?"
"His girlfriend, obviously." Swizzle says, smiling as he sees Vanellope leaving the room to check on Rancis.
"Flugs?" Vanellope says, knocking on the door of the boys' bedroom.
"Go away, Nelly." Rancis says, still upset.
"Rancis, is this about the suggestion I made about your birthday?" Vanellope asks, still standing outside the door.
Rancis opens the door, and looks at Vanellope.
"Yes, it is." Rancis says, his eyes red from crying.
"Flugs, I know you don't want to share your birthday, but you have to for the sake of a double celebration. Everyone would be celebrating you as well as Cinndon." Vanellope says, grabbing Rancis' hand and smiling reassuringly at him.
Rancis sighs, then looks at Vanellope again.
"Okay, I'll do it. For you." Rancis says. Vanellope smiles at him.
"That's what I like to hear. Would you like to come back and join the sleepover party?" Vanellope asks him.
Rancis shakes his head. "No, I'm gonna go to bed early, Nelly."
"Okay, then. I'll see you in the morning." Vanellope kisses her boyfriend's head and leaves to join the rest of the racers.
As soon as he's sure Vanellope is gone, Rancis lays on his designated bed that's in the room.
Each guy has their own bed: A Halloween-themed bed for Gloyd, a daredevil-and-swirl pop-themed bed for Swizzle, a rock music and cinnamon themed bed for Cinndon, and a fancy Reese's-themed bed for Rancis.
"I will never share my birthday…" Rancis says as he gets under the orange and gold-striped blanket on his bed and drifts off to sleep.
